Our away form is still shocking, as it has been for almost my entire lifetime watching Hearts, and we have a pretty average squad with maybe 2 big names. For comparison what do you believe we had before promotion that has been lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok first off im replying to a guy wi one post whos first post is Levein out. But as you asked. Yes for 70 mins we were awful , slow in passing it , no width , didnt find each other , didnt shoot when we could. We shouldnt of needed the young lads to come on to inject energy and enthusiasm in the game. Last 15/20 we played as we did at cove for the first 60/65mins. The disallowed goal would of papered the cracks but it wasnt acceptable. Watch Leveins interview it pretty much says the same thing we all have said then even goes on to say the senior players need a shake as it was very disappointing today. Now show me where I said it was acceptable today please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick51 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Okay this is my first ever post and 1. I’m posting from Lanzarote pished having watched the game in an Irish pub 2. I’ve not read the whole thread cos I know the way it’ll have gone but just gonna say yes we weren’t great (pish at times) but ultimately we scored a perfectly legitimate last minute winner that was disallowed cos the referee guessed a decision so, you know the negative posted are maybe a bit premature - just saying. And yes I know I am pished and it may transpire the naysayers are right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathro was sacked for little worse Problem being, a very small percentage of those on here were in Elgin or Peterhead so it’s hard for them to compare today against last year. We were better today than last year. But not by much. Nowhere near good enough. Bitterly bitterly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy rebus Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Think today showed why Lafferty and Naismith as a front two doesn’t work. Both like to come deep and/or wide. We need at least one striker who will hold the line and not just congest the midfield. I also thought we looked better with a back four. Smith as an orthodox RB and Haring looked decent in midfield. The “kids” that came on we’re possibly our best players, especially Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Can only go by what I’ve seen so...blimey, it’s not great at all. Apart from Lafferty’s disinterest, it’s tbe midfield once more that concerns. Lee was anonymous Bozanic will be overrun by better players Mulraney looks like an ICT benchwarmer Smith not a wing back (but we do have injuries out there) Burns lacks quality We have Edwards on the bench. From what I know of him, he would have provided some impetus to proceedings - is that not the point of having so many players, to give us options and energy? Just felt we looked like a team made up of what we are: a cobbled together group of players from European and Australian backwater leagues. We all hoped the sun may be greater than the parts but it’s not evident so far. It it also doesn't help that our tactics appear to be outdated, based on possession and too slow until we start chasing in a panic.

Gershwin Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 First half I thought we were ok, second half we were abysmal until the final 15. Wasn't a fan of our set up at all today. I just don't think our players will ever be comfortable playing 3 at the back. We really seem to be over-thinking things with this formation and it puts a lot of pressure on the defence if teams get in behind the wing back. Regarding our play, didn't see many positives until Morrison came on. Souttar shelling long crossfield balls out to Mulraney, overcrowding the attacking midfield areas(Bozanic/Lee/Naismith), countless aimless balls in from wide areas, pedestrian movement in and around the box...**** me we are frustrating away from home.
